What does a site EUI of 31.4 kBtu/ft² mean?
Site energy-use intensity (EUI) is the energy a building uses on site in a year divided by its floor area, in thousand Btu per square foot — lower is more efficient. 201 Third Street's 31.4 kBtu/ft² across 356,538 sq ft works out to about 11.2 billion Btu (3,281 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 66.1 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher. The disclosure also reports 1,925,064 kWh of electricity and 43,022 therms of natural gas for the year.
